Sarafis Carlton Avenue Plat sits on five acres in the Northeast, a few miles from downtown Grand Rapids—close enough that you're downtown in under nine minutes if traffic cooperates, but far enough removed that the neighborhood feels genuinely residential. Lot sizes average a fifth of an acre, which means room for a proper yard and a driveway without the sprawl, and homes run around $298K, pricing them well below what you'd pay for similar space closer in. A grocery store is a five-minute walk, a coffee shop six minutes, and restaurants cluster thick on the ground—72 within a mile—so you're never far from dinner that isn't your own kitchen. Transit access scores surprisingly well at 8/10, and Ball Perkins Park, with its trails through old-growth woods, sits an eleven-minute walk away. The school district is Wellspring Preparatory High School, and the whole setup reads as what Northeast has become: enough proximity to amenities and downtown to feel connected, enough land and affordability to actually breathe.
